Bought my TT a few weeks ago when I had a stock Chevy Z71 1/2 ton. The WDH I got was for that truck. I have recently bought an F250 which sits up higher and my WDH is too high for trailer to get on ball on its lowest setting. So my question is what WDH should I buy to fix this issue?

Google B&W Trailer Hitches. They are quickly adjustable, and can be easily moved under the hitch to help keep your knee from being bruised. Good luck with it.
You should be able to get a different taller shank for your hitch. Check with your hitch manufacturer, or if you have a good trailer place locally, see if they have one. Should be able to unbolt the hitch from the shank, and bolt it onto the new one.
Check with your hitch manufacturer for the proper set up procedures to adjust the hitch for your new TV.
I had the opposite thing happen when I went from a Tahoe to my F250 (the hitch on the Tahoe is in the back bumper instead of under it). You will probably have to take the hitch head apart and replace the drop portion. Make sure you follow the torque specs when you put it back together. I had to buy some large sockets and a wrench but who doesn't like a trip to Lowe's?
If it is a newer truck most 3/4 size have a 2-1/2" shank size,but you can use a reduction sleeve and buy a longer 2" shank for your MFG hitch,whatever that may be! Youroo! !
As said in your "flipping hitch" thread, turn the shank upside down so it points to the ground instead of upwards. This will buy you plenty of adjustment to work with your F250.
